Thursday, June 9, 2011. Today I am grateful that good music is becoming more a part of my life. For reasons that are not clear to me, I have been thinking of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” ~ Doc Meek

Thank you, Julia Ward Howe (and your great, great, great grandson) for this amazing and invigorating song!
